I just had the time of my life on this cruise. I am a 60-something widow and this is my first cruise sailing solo since my husband passed. He and I had sailed Crystal six times, on all three ships, and loved it. I chose this cruise because I was happy to see Crystal come back, Iceland is on the bucket list, and, well, it was time to get back out there traveling. I flew to Reykjavik two days ...
Dear brescan,
Welcome back and we are delighted to hear that your experience on Serenity was a wonderful one!
We deeply appreciate your trust in choosing to sail again with Crystal, and it...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary, always dreamed of visiting Iceland. This was our second Viking trip, first ocean cruise. We knew the level of excellence to expect from our experience on a Viking river cruise, but were pleasantly surprised at how Viking even surpassed that expectation.
The ship was emaculate, the food delicious and very accommodating for my vegetarian diet, the crew ...
Having cruised with several cruise lines and Viking river cruises, we were attracted to the Viking Ocean Cruise offering. We chose Iceland and Greenland as exotic destinations which we would otherwise never visit.
The cruise itself was excellent, as one would expect from Viking, but it would be fair to say that the Viking river cruises are probable a little ahead in many respects. The ship is ...
We absolutely love Viking Ocean cruises! We have cruised on other lines before and feel we get more from the Viking experience. People truly do enjoy learning here! It was nice to hear one of our guides in Iceland who stated how respectful Viking guests are in comparison to other cruise lines. Despite the somewhat stressful excursion and specialty restaurant booking process, we feel like we got ...
We chose Viking because of their reputation. We were not disappointed. We chose the Iceland cruise to experience whale watching; seeing the puffins; and hopefully to see the Northern lights. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt we were being greeted by friends who wanted to ensure our comfort and happiness. We lo ed the whale watching excursion and can't say enough about how wonderful ...
I wanted to do another UK cruise go to places like Shetland and Newcastle as I’m a fan of the TV shows and also Liverpool as I had not been there. I’m just about through with long haul flights so I tried to book on the Iceland/Greenland tour but at the time (Feb), I was told all the solo cabins had been sold. I waited about 5 weeks and cabins became available again and I was able to book that tour ...
We took a 7 day cruise around Iceland in August, 2023. It was our first time on Viking, although we have been on many cruises, including Crystal, Regent, Paul Gaugin as well as Princess, Celebrity and Carnival. I would say that this was among the best, if not THE best, ship we have encountered. It was FAR better than our more recent trip on Regent which was a huge disappointment.
We booked 2 ...
The excursions that were offered by Viking allowed us to see the beauty of all of Iceland!
Never disappointed with Viking. From embarkation through disembarking, Viking makes sure that your needs and requests are always met. The staff goes out of their way with a smile to start each day as well as making sure that your room is ready at the end of each day.
The meals were professional ...
I had been to Iceland before and wanted my husband to experience it. We picked Viking because of our outstanding experience with a Rhine River cruise. Here are the main points supporting my rating.
--There are activities for all fitness levels. My husband has limited mobility, but there were enough activities onboard and ashore to keep him occupied.
--I love taking pictures. The guided ...
I was unsure about taking an ocean cruise after enjoying several river cruises but was not disappointed. The number of passengers never felt crowded. The stewards that cleaned our rooms were thorough and always close by to help or answer any questions. They were friendly and delightful!
The excursion to Vigor Island and the excursion to Sky Lagoon were our favorites. Enjoying the warm ...
